APPENDIX 7

1. Read and render the text “The Problems of Environment in Great Britain” The Problems of Environment in Great Britain

At the end of the 1980s Britain became much more conscious of the fact of degradation of the environment. Two incidents in 1988 triggered a major shift in attitude to this question. One was the death of hundreds ofseals in the North Sea as a result of a pollution-related virus. The other was a scandal concerning the intended dumping of a shipment of toxic waste in Britain. Suddenly the public was aware

that Britain was rapidly turning into a wasteland. All political parties suddenly began talking about the environment. In the elections of 1989 the Green Party attracted over 10 per cent of the national vote.

As a result, the'problems of environment required close governmental control and planning in order to protect and regulate all aspects of environment use. The excessive use of nitrates in Britain's agriculture and the emission of carbon dioxide by industry and transport pose a dilemma for any government between environmental loss and economic gain. Recently an investigative team from the "Sunday Times" showed that the level of river pollution is rising to dangerous levels, with 10 per cent of Britain's rivers no longer able to support fish. Among the leading pollutants are major companies, which are seldom prosecuted. Penalties for pouring toxic waste into rivers are usually less than the profit such companies can make by ignoring thelegislation, and less than the cost of finding safe means of toxic waste-disposal.

It's the time to recognize that the polluting combustion of fuel causes acid rain and global heating ("the greenhouse effect").
